Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the fiscal year began on February 1, 2014, municipal bonds were one month into a rally that lasted through the end of the 12-month period on January 31, 2015. Investor expectations of rising interest rates — fueled by a modestly improving U.S. economy and the tapering of the Federal Reserve Board’s monthly asset purchases — were overwhelmed by events overseas. While the U.S. economy continued to experience moderate but below-trend growth and low inflation, fixed income investors became increasingly concerned about declining growth rates in the eurozone, the recession in Japan and the slowing growth in China.
As overseas central banks put downward pressure on interest rates, culminating with the European Central Bank’s initiation of its own asset purchase program in mid-January 2015, historically low U.S. interest rates looked attractive by comparison. The result was strong worldwide demand for U.S Treasurys that pushed Treasury rates down, with municipal rates following.
In the second half of the period, plummeting oil prices caused by increased supply and weakening demand heightened investor concerns about slowing inflation expectations overseas, putting further downward pressure on U.S. rates.
As investors searched for yield in a low-interest-rate environment, longer dated and lower credit quality bonds were the best performers. During the final four months of the period ended January 31, 2015, municipal bonds, which had outperformed Treasurys since the beginning of 2014, underperformed Treasurys but still delivered positive returns, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index2, a measure of the overall U.S. municipal bond market. For the one-year period as a whole, the municipal yield curve flattened. Maturities shorter than three years saw a slight rise in interest rates, while rates declined and prices rose through the rest of the curve, with longer maturities showing the strongest performance.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) had a total return of 16.92%, outperforming both the 8.86% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index), and the 15.81% return of the Fund’s secondary benchmark, the Barclays High Yield Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index.
The Fund primarily invests in high-yield bonds — defined as securities rated BBB7 or below — whereas the primary Index, reflecting the broad municipal market, had a significantly smaller weight in BBB and below-investment-grade issues throughout the fiscal year. In general, high-yield municipal bonds benefited from strong inflows into the asset class during the period, as investors searched for yield in a low-yield environment. This led lower credit quality bonds to outperform higher-grade issues; consequently, the Fund’s overweight in bonds rated BBB and below was the largest single contributor to performance versus the Index.
An overweight and security selection in zero coupon bonds, which were the strongest performing coupon structure during the period, contributed to Fund performance relative to the Index as well. Other relative contributors included an overweight in bonds with 10-30 years remaining to maturity and an overweight and security selection in the hospital, industrial development revenue (IDR) and transportation sectors.
The Fund seeks to enhance tax-exempt income by entering into residual interest bond transactions and investing the proceeds of such transactions in additional municipal securities, which creates leverage6 in the Fund. Leverage has the effect of magnifying the Fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down markets. During this period of strong performance by municipal bonds, leverage helped Fund performance relative to the Index.
In contrast, the Fund’s hedging strategy detracted from Fund performance versus the Index during the period. By using Treasury futures, management hedges to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility caused by the use of leverage and investing in bonds in the longer part of the yield curve. As a risk management tactic within the Fund’s overall strategy, interest rate hedging is intended to moderate performance on both the upside and the downside of the market. During this period of strong performance by municipal bonds, the Fund’s Treasury futures hedge reduced some of the upside return and thus detracted from Fund performance relative to the unhedged Index.
An underweight in California bonds also detracted from Fund performance versus the Index during the one-year period.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

Endnotes and Additional Disclosures
1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays High Yield Long (22+) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of high-yield municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities of 22 years or more. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. In the performance table, the performance of Class I is linked to Class A. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax- exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. |
7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
8 | The chart includes the municipal bonds held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds, consistent with the Portfolio of Investments. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2014 – January 31, 2015).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at January 31, 2015, 14.4% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.7% to 7.0% of total investments.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund seeks to provide high current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Fund primarily invests in high yield municipal obligations with maturities of ten years or more. The Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax-exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. The Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by the Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2015, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Fund. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance the Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce the Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Fund may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby the Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by the Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Fund accounts for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in its Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in its Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 10) at January 31, 2015. Interest expense related to the Fund’s liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At January 31, 2015, the amount of the Fund’s Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the related collateral were $83,165,000 and $137,164,677, respectively. The range of interest rates on the Floating Rate Notes outstanding at January 31, 2015 was 0.03% to 0.07%. For the year ended January 31, 2015, the Fund’s average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were $81,609,219 and 0.65%, respectively.
The Fund may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which the Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Fund had no shortfalls as of January 31, 2015.
The Fund may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Fund’s investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Fund’s investment policies do not allow the Fund to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Fund’s restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Fund’s restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Fund are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
On December 10, 2013, five U.S. federal agencies published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limits such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, covered funds (such as SPVs), as defined in the rules. The compliance date for the Volcker Rule for certain covered funds is July 21, 2015 while for other covered funds the compliance date is July 21, 2016. The Volcker Rule may preclude banking entities and

their affiliates from (i) sponsoring residual interest bond programs (as such programs are presently structured) and (ii) continuing relationships with or services for existing residual interest bond programs. As a result, residual interest bond trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. There can be no assurances that residual interest bond trusts can be restructured, that new sponsors of residual interest bond programs will develop, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Fund. The effects of the Volcker Rule may make it more difficult for the Fund to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Fund to incur additional expenses to maintain its leverage.
J Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014 was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
Distributions declared from: | ||||||||
Tax-exempt income | $ | 34,978,680 | $ | 32,370,779 | ||||
Ordinary income | $ | 1,517,659 | $ | 991,419 |
During the year ended January 31, 2015, accumulated net realized loss was increased by $759,620, accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $753,404 and paid-in capital was increased by $6,216 due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount, defaulted bond interest and expenditures on defaulted bonds. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.
As of January 31, 2015, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $ | 2,944,097 | ||
Capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses | $ | (239,588,072 | ) | |
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 79,156,903 | ||
Other temporary differences | $ | (606,207 | ) |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders, wash sales, futures contracts, residual interest bonds, expenditures on defaulted bonds, defaulted bond interest and accretion of market discount.
At January 31, 2015, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards of $189,417,446 and deferred capital losses of $50,170,626 which will reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The capital loss carryforwards will expire on January 31, 2016 ($14,863,328), January 31, 2017 ($49,195,524), January 31, 2018 ($115,791,581) and January 31, 2019 ($9,567,013) and their character is short-term. Under tax regulations, capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 2010 are considered deferred capital losses and are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year, retaining the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Deferred capital losses are required to be used prior to capital loss carryforwards, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Of the deferred capital losses at January 31, 2015, $8,230,751 are short-term and $41,939,875 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at January 31, 2015, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
Aggregate cost | $ | 993,692,922 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | $ | 100,415,519 | ||
Gross unrealized depreciation | (21,258,616 | ) | ||
Net unrealized appreciation | $ | 79,156,903 |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement and subsequent fee reduction agreements between the Fund and BMR, the fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Daily Net Assets | Annual Asset Rate | Daily Income Rate | ||||||
Up to $500 million | 0.3150 | % | 3.1500 | % | ||||
$500 million but less than $750 million | 0.2925 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$750 million but less than $1 billion | 0.2700 | 2.9250 | ||||||
$1 billion but less than $1.5 billion | 0.2700 | 2.7000 |
On average daily net assets of $1.5 billion or more, the rates are further reduced. The fee reductions cannot be terminated without the consent of a majority of the Trustees and a majority of shareholders. For the year ended January 31, 2015, the investment adviser fee amounted to $3,858,672 or 0.47% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. EVM serves as the administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Fund pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. For the year ended January 31, 2015, EVM earned $8,362 from the Fund pursuant to such agreement, which is included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statement of Operations. The Fund was informed that Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Fund’s principal underwriter, received $141,962 as its portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares for the year ended January 31, 2015. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s or BMR��s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Fund who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended January 31, 2015, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of the above organizations.

4 Distribution Plans
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to the Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended January 31, 2015 amounted to $982,312 for Class A shares.
The Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the Fund. For the year ended January 31, 2015, the Fund paid or accrued to EVD $48,419 and $1,226,963 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended January 31, 2015 amounted to $16,140 and $408,988 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s NASD Conduct Rule 2830(d) and for Class B, are further limited to a 5% maximum sales charge as determined in accordance with such rule.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent year. Class C shares are subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within one year of purchase. For the year ended January 31, 2015, the Fund was informed that EVD received approximately $26,000, $6,000 and $13,000 of CDSCs paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shareholders, respectively.
6 Purchases and Sales of Investments
Purchases and sales of investments, other than short-term obligations, aggregated $533,132,037 and $144,043,554, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2015.
7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:
Year Ended January 31, | ||||||||
Class A | 2015 | 2014 | ||||||
Sales | 23,246,468 | 15,203,934 | ||||||

Net increase (decrease) | 27,932,461 | (774,265 | ) |
8 Line of Credit
The Fund participates with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to the Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Fund, it may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2015.
9 Financial Instruments
The Fund may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of its investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31, 2015 is as follows:
Futures Contracts | ||||||||||||||||
Expiration Month/Year | Contracts | Position | Aggregate Cost | Value | Net Unrealized Depreciation | |||||||||||
3/15 | 175 U.S. 10-Year Treasury Note | Short | $ | (22,066,086 | ) | $ | (22,903,125 | ) | $ | (837,039 | ) | |||||
3/15 | 168 U.S. Long Treasury Bond | Short | (23,624,845 | ) | (25,415,249 | ) | (1,790,404 | ) | ||||||||
$ | (2,627,443 | ) |
At January 31, 2015, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Fund holds fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Fund purchases and sells U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair value of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at January 31, 2015 was as follows:
Fair Value | ||||||||
Derivative | Asset Derivative | Liability Derivative | ||||||
Futures Contracts | $ | — | $ | (2,627,443 | )(1) |
(1) | Amount represents cumulative unrealized depreciation on futures contracts in the Futures Contracts table above. Only the current day’s variation margin on open futures contracts is reported within the Statement Assets and Liabilities as Receivable or Payable for variation margin, as applicable. |
The effect of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) on the Statement of Operations and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk for the year ended January 31, 2015 was as follows:
Derivative | Realized Gain (Loss) in Income | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | ||||||
Futures Contracts | $ | (3,416,811 | )(1) | $ | (1,969,308 | )(2) |
(1) | Statement of Operations location: Net realized gain (loss) – Financial futures contracts. |
(2) | Statement of Operations location: Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Financial futures contracts. |
The average notional amount of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended January 31, 2015, which is indicative of the volume of this derivative type, was approximately $44,778,000.
10 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
28 |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At January 31, 2015, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
Asset Description | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Municipal Securities | $ | — | $ | 1,126,901,792 | $ | — | $ | 1,126,901,792 | ||||||||
Taxable Municipal Securities | — | 22,998,700 | — | 22,998,700 | ||||||||||||

Total | $ | (2,627,443 | ) | $ | — | $ | — | $ | (2,627,443 | ) |
The Fund held no investments or other financial instruments as of January 31, 2014 whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs. At January 31, 2015, there were no investments transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year then ended.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolio of investments, as of January 31, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Eaton Vance High Yield Municipal Income Fund as of January 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the fiscal year began on February 1, 2014, municipal bonds were one month into a rally that lasted through the end of the 12-month period on January 31, 2015. Investor expectations of rising interest rates — fueled by a modestly improving U.S. economy and the tapering of the Federal Reserve Board’s monthly asset purchases — were overwhelmed by events overseas. While the U.S. economy continued to experience moderate but below-trend growth and low inflation, fixed income investors became increasingly concerned about declining growth rates in the eurozone, the recession in Japan and the slowing growth in China.
As overseas central banks put downward pressure on interest rates, culminating with the European Central Bank’s initiation of its own asset purchase program in mid-January 2015, historically low U.S. interest rates looked attractive by comparison. The result was strong worldwide demand for U.S Treasurys that pushed Treasury rates down, with municipal rates following.
In the second half of the period, plummeting oil prices caused by increased supply and weakening demand heightened investor concerns about slowing inflation expectations overseas, putting further downward pressure on U.S. rates.
As investors searched for yield in a low-interest-rate environment, longer dated and lower credit quality bonds were the best performers. During the final four months of the period ended January 31, 2015, municipal bonds, which had outperformed Treasurys since the beginning of 2014, underperformed Treasurys but still delivered positive returns, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index2, a measure of the overall U.S. municipal bond market. For the one-year period as a whole, the municipal yield curve flattened. Maturities shorter than three years saw a slight rise in interest rates, while rates declined and prices rose through the rest of the curve, with longer maturities showing the strongest performance.
Fund Performance
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund) Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) underperformed the Fund’s benchmark. During the same period, Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly,
Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund) and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund Class A shares at NAV outperformed their respective benchmark indices.
Relative value trading and security selection were positive contributors to each Fund’s relative performance versus its respective benchmark during the 12-month period.
Because municipal bonds were generally more attractively valued than Treasurys throughout the period, all Funds were 100% invested in municipals during the fiscal year and the crossover strategy was not employed.
All three Funds maintained a duration7 very close to that of their respective benchmarks during the period, and duration was not a material factor in the relative performance of any Fund.
In addition, all three Funds maintained an average credit quality somewhat higher than that of their respective benchmarks for the fiscal year. During a period when lower quality bonds in general outperformed higher quality issues, this higher quality positioning detracted from the Funds’ relative performance versus their respective benchmarks.
Fund-specific Results
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 2.80%, underperforming the 3.66% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index.
The primary detractor from the Fund’s performance versus its benchmark was the Fund’s higher credit quality positioning during a period when lower-rated bonds outperformed. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund was overweight AAA-rated bonds and underweight A-rated bonds for the 12-month period. In addition, the Fund did not hold BBB-rated bonds, which were represented in its benchmark.
In contrast, yield curve positioning helped relative performance. Compared with its benchmark, the Fund was overweight the 7-8 year part of the yield curve and underweight the 2-3 year part of the curve during the period. This positioning helped results versus the benchmark as the yield curve flattened over the course of the fiscal year, causing longer maturity bonds to outperform shorter maturity issues. Relative value trading and security selection also aided

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1—continued
Fund performance versus the benchmark during the period, as noted earlier.
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 7.91%, outperforming the 7.07% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 1-17 Year Bond Index.
Yield curve positioning was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance versus its benchmark. During a period when the yield curve flattened and longer maturity bonds outperformed shorter maturity issues, the Fund was overweight bonds with 8-17 years remaining to maturity and significantly underweight bonds with 1-7 years remaining to maturity. Relative value trading and security selection helped performance versus the benchmark as well.
Credit quality, in contrast, detracted modestly from results versus the benchmark. The Fund did have a small weighting in A-rated bonds that helped performance against the benchmark, which had no A-rated issues. However, that positive contribution was more than offset by the Fund’s overweight in AAA-rated bonds during a period when lower rated bonds outperformed higher rated issues.
For the 12-month period ended January 31, 2015, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund Class A shares at NAV had a total return of 14.75%, outperforming the 13.54% return of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Long (10+) Year Bond Index.
Yield curve positioning was the primary contributor to Fund performance relative to the benchmark. In a period when longer maturity bonds outperformed, the Fund was overweight versus its benchmark in the 16-30 year part of the yield curve and underweight in the 10-15 year portion of the curve. Relative value trading and security selection also aided Fund performance versus the benchmark during the period.
In contrast, credit quality was a mild detractor from results relative to the benchmark. As with the TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund mentioned earlier, the Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund held a small weighting in A-rated bonds, which helped Fund performance against a benchmark that did not hold A-rated issues. But that positive contribution was more than offset by the Long Term Fund’s overweight in AAA-rated bonds during a period when higher quality bonds underperformed lower quality issues.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance less than one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any EatonVance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 4-6 years. Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1-7 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 1-7 year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. The Barclays Municipal Managed Money 1-7 Year Bond Index commenced on January 30, 2009; accordingly the Ten Year return is not available and the index has been excluded from the Growth of $10,000 chart. Barclays Municipal Managed Money Intermediate 1-17 Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 1-17 year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Barclays 7 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 6-8 years. Barclays Municipal Managed Money Long (10+) Year Bond Index is an unmanaged, tax-exempt bond market index that measures the 10+ year maturity component of the Barclays Municipal Managed Money Bond Index. Barclays 15 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 12-17 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. After-tax returns are calculated using certain assumptions, including using the highest historical individual federal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state/local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on a shareholder’s tax situation and the actual characterization of distributions and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders who hold shares in tax-deferred accounts or shares held by nontaxable entities. Return After Taxes on Distributions may be the same as Return Before Taxes for the same period because no taxable distributions were made during that period. Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares may be greater than or equal to Return After Taxes on Distributions for the same period because of losses realized on the sale of Fund shares. |
For the TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, performance prior to the inception date of each share class is that of a private investment partnership (the Predecessor Account). Performance shown prior to the inception of the share class is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but not adjusted for expense differences between the Predecessor Account and each share class. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. The Predecessor Account was not a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) or a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), and therefore the Predecessor Account was not subject to investment limitations, diversification requirements and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and/or the Code. If such requirements were applicable to the Predecessor Account, the performance shown may have been adversely affected. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. |
After-Tax Returns are not shown for the Ten Year period because the Predecessor Account, unlike a registered investment company, was not required to make annual income distributions to its investors. |
4 | Source: Fund prospectus. Net expense ratio reflects a contractual expense reimbursement for TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund that continues through 5/31/15. Without the reimbursement, if applicable, performance would have been lower. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099-DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. Yield reflects the effect of fee waivers and expense reimbursements. |
6 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment-grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
7 | Duration is a measure of the expected change in price of a bond — in percentage terms — given a one percent change in interest rates, all else being constant. Securities with lower durations tend to be less sensitive to interest-rate changes. |
Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2014 – January 31, 2015).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at January 31, 2015, 9.6% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 0.3% to 6.3% of total investments.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II (the Trust) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust presently consists of four funds, three of which, each diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund) (Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund), Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund) (Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund) and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund (Long Term Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds’ investment objective is to seek after-tax total return. The Funds offer three classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and asked prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the entity’s financial condition, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions and Related Income — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its taxable, if any, and tax exempt net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
As of January 31, 2015, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Fund maintains security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The net investment income of the each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014 was as follows:
Year Ended January 31, 2015 | ||||||||||||
Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||

Long-term capital gains | $ | 643,947 | $ | 373,096 | $ | 288,806 |
During the year ended January 31, 2015, the following amounts were reclassified due to differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount and for the Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, its use of equalization accounting.
Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Change in: | ||||||||||||
Paid-in capital | $ | 176,323 | $ | — | $ | — | ||||||
Accumulated net realized gain (loss) | $ | (163,205 | ) | $ | 9,340 | $ | 3,521 | |||||
Accumulated distributions in excess of net investment income | $ | (13,118 | ) | $ | (9,340 | ) | $ | (3,521 | ) |
Tax equalization accounting allows the Funds to treat as a distribution that portion of redemption proceeds representing a redeeming shareholder’s portion of undistributed taxable income and net capital gains. These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.
As of January 31, 2015, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $ | 67,274 | $ | 312,837 | $ | 13,256 | ||||||

Other temporary differences | $ | (134,580 | ) | $ | (327,296 | ) | $ | (13,849 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities are primarily due to the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders and accretion of market discount.
At January 31, 2015, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred.
The amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

3 Investment Adviser and Administration Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser and administration fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory and administrative services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
Annual Asset Rate | ||||||||||||
Daily Net Assets | Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | |||||||||
Up to $500 million | 0.55 | % | 0.60 | % | 0.60 | % | ||||||
$500 million up to $1 billion | 0.54 | % | 0.60 | % | 0.60 | % |
On average daily net assets of $1 billion or more, the rates are reduced. For the year ended January 31, 2015, investment adviser and administration fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||
Investment Adviser and Administration Fee | $ | 3,494,661 | $ | 1,921,701 | $ | 123,776 | ||||||
Effective Annual Rate | 0.55 | % | 0.60 | % | 0.60 | % |
For Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund and Long Term Fund, EVM has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s expenses to the extent that total annual operating expenses (relating to ordinary operating expenses only) exceed 0.90%, 1.65% and 0.65% (0.95%, 1.70% and 0.70% prior to June 1, 2014) of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class I, respectively. These agreements may be changed or terminated after May 31, 2015. Pursuant to these agreements, EVM was allocated $266,336 and $115,329, respectively, of Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund’s and Long Term Fund’s operating expenses for the year ended January 31, 2015.
EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charges on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5).

5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1% generally is imposed on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. For the year ended January 31, 2015, the Funds were informed that EVD received approximately the following amounts of CDSCs paid by Class A and Class C shareholders:
Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | Intermediate- Term Municipal Bond Fund | Long Term Fund | ||||||||||

8 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended January 31, 2015.

9 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Ÿ | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II and Shareholders of Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund), Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund), and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Short Term Fund), Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund (formerly, Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Intermediate Term Fund), and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust II), including the portfolios of investments, as of January 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance TABS Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, Eaton Vance TABS Intermediate-Term Municipal Bond Fund, and Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Bond Strategies Long Term Fund as of January 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Privacy. The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
Ÿ | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
Ÿ | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
Ÿ | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
Ÿ | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., Eaton Vance Trust Company, Eaton Vance Management’s Real Estate Investment Group and Boston Management and Research. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial advisor.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
